“We’re possibly looking to get one in on loan – a quicker one, a striker – to give us a little more pace up there.

“But that’s something we can concentrate on probably after pre-season has started.”

Meanwhile, former Millwall man Marquis, Ferguson believes, is someone Rovers fans will take to immediately.

“He’s a different type of striker who’s got good experience for a 24-year-old,” said Rovers’ boss.

“He’s played a lot in the Championship, in League One and obviously last season was pivotal to helping Northampton get out of the league so it’s a really good signing. When I met him I liked him, his determination and the way in which he wants to kick on with his career.

“He’s had quite a few loan moves but he wants to get settled.

“His work ethic means the fans will take to him straight away, he never gives defenders a minute and in terms of how I want to play that will help. He’s good with his back to goal. He gets a hold of the ball and keeps it for you in the last third, things I feel we needed to improve.”
